James Bundy Reappointed For Dual Yale Drama Roles

James Bundy will be dean of the Yale School of Drama and artistic director for the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven for a third five-year term.

The reappointment was made by university president Richard Levin Monday.

Bundy at at the conclusion of his third term will have served as dean the longest since the school began it's association with the professional regional theater.

Bundy succeeded Stan Wojewodski, who served two terms plus a one year extension when the search for his replacement became protracted. Lloyd Richards served two terms, plus a two-year extension. The Rep was founded by Robert Brustein in 1966, who also became the school's dean. He left Yale in 1979 following a dispute with then-president A. Bartlett Giamatti.

Last month in addressing his tenure at Yale, Bundy called his dual positions "a dream job"

Next month, Bundy is expected to announce his 10th season for the Rep.
